JavaScript / Socket.io web application not executing any JS commands
Question
I am trying to create a simple live LAN messaging web application. I am using HTML, CSS, Javascript, Socket.io, and JQuery to do this. I have built a similar application to this before, so I have some experience with these types of projects. I have no idea why, but every time I try to execute any javascript command, it doesn't work. I have a button trying to start a function called joingame(). It says that the function is undefined. I also tried to define a variable as "test value", and it keeps coming up as ''. If anybody could help me out, it would be great! It's probably something really basic, but I can't figure it out. Thank you!

Textare isn't self closing. Check this SO answer When I changed closing tag, it worked for me in firefox as <textarea id="chatinp" placeholder="Enter message here..." cols='50' rows='2'></textarea>
